New Rating System

We upgraded our rating system so now you will accumulate more rating when winning a higher opponent and vice versa. Losing against a lower rated player will cause the opposite. The longer the match or higher the stake – the more rating you will get! Also, the new rating system is currently unlimited.

Commissions

Commission is taken from the final winning sum. The new commission system is fairly simple and divided into categories:

Up to 6,000 Credits -> 6% of the final winning sum

Between 6,000 Credits and 25,000 Credits -> 5% of the final winning sum

Between 25,000 Credits and 99,999 Credits -> 4% of the final winning sum

In series of games there is an added commission by these categories:

Matches of 2 – 10 points -> 1% added commission

Matches of 11 – 21 points -> 2% added commission
